Will there be a season 3 of Blue Lights?

Good news — once you’ve binged your way through the first two seasons of Blue Lights, you can look forward to another instalment. In fact, the cast are almost finished filming.

“[It’s] intense, surprising… we’re just coming to the end of it, so we’re about to enter our last week of filming,” Brooke said to Radio Times on the BAFTAs red carpet.

She added, “The writing I think on this one, it just blows it out the water – I don’t know how these guys get better and better, but they do… There’s a lot of care that’s gone into making [these characters] and they’re very individual and so people have related to them, they want to know what happens, where the story ends.”

The third season is expected to land in late 2025 or early 2026.

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
